\nCorlears Hookers (4-1-0-1) vs. Fresh Kills (2-4)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 6:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> For the first time since the 2008 BTSH championship game, these two Rubens Division rivals will square off in Sunday’s prime-time matchup.\u00a0 The Corlears Hookers have performed as expected this season, as they have continued to dominate most of their opponents.\u00a0 However, they have been plagued by low attendance\u00a0nearly every week, which has been a contributing factor in their two losses.\u00a0 Fresh Kills’ season has been a bit of a disappointment thus far.\u00a0\u00a0After splitting their first two games on the road, they returned home to raise their championship banner and gain a much needed win\u00a0against the Tuques.\u00a0 Since that day,\u00a0however, they have lost three games in a row and sit at 13th in the standings.\u00a0 Although Fresh Kills is the clear underdog here, they have thrived when counted out in the past, as they were in a similar position entering last year’s championship game.\u00a0
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1.\u00a0 Corlears Hookers forward Jason Eitel is tied for the league lead with nine goals.\u00a0 He was not present for the 2008 championship game and is planning to make amends for that.
\n2. Fresh Kills defender turned forward Bob “Olmec” Weyersberg now has two goals on the season and won’t shut up about it.\u00a0 He boasts, “No one can stop me.\u00a0 I have the\u00a0most accurate\u00a0outside shot in the league and my presence near the crease cannot be matched.”
\n3. In order to combat his team’s pereceived negative image, Corlears Hookers captain Peter “Purple Rain” Putka has introduced a series of promotional days throughout the season.\u00a0 This Sunday, the first 20 fans under the age of 12 will receieve a free Albert “Al” Huang Trapper Keeper, which will hopefully showcase the Hookers’ commitment to education.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 A big game is expected out of Huang on his promotional day…that is, if he’s allowed off the bench.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers.\u00a0 Revenge will only be temporarily sweet as Fresh Kills still holds the more important win.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 6-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Dark Rainbows have now won their last five games in a row, including a huge victory over previously undefeated Filthy Gorgeous last week.\u00a0 The Mighty Squirrels are now on a three-game losing streak and have notched only one goal in that span.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> No Pick. Eli will be reffing this game.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows.\u00a0 They’re looking like the Rainbows of 2007 these days.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 3-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> In addition to their\u00a0overarching goal of helping the Rehabs secure a BTSH championship, league sideshows Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez and Sean “$howJu” McClain have placed a gentleman’s wager on their individual performances for the year.\u00a0 If McClain outscores Melendez, the rookie will win the right to the “$howT!m3” moniker in 2010, and Melendez will be forced to use “$howJu”.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Rehabs.\u00a0 Alex “Villano VI” Zabala is uneffected by this bet.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Rehabs.\u00a0 Some say Juan “d@ $how” Garcia will outscore both of them.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> LBS, Inc. leads 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> An interesting backstory to this game is the remarkable similarities between the last names of LBS, Inc. sniper “The Alpha Male” Ken Poulin and Mathematics goon Georgine “Mulva” Paulin.\u00a0 However, the two are not related.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 1-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> For the first time since week 11 of the 2008 season, the Happy Little Elves enter a game with more wins than their opponent does.\u00a0 However, history is not on their side, as they were defeated\u00a0that week by none\u00a0other than the Mega Touch (then Bad Touch).
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Happy Little Elves.\u00a0 No comment.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Happy Little Elves<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Unicorns lead 9-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> After a stunning upset at the hands of league laughing-stocks the Happy Little Elves, the Unicorns seem to be back on track.\u00a0 They immediately rebounded\u00a0from the loss by upsetting the Corlears Hookers the following week and notched a solid win against Mega Touch in their last game.\u00a0 With a huge Woodsworth Division game against Filthy Gorgeous looming next weekend, the Unicorns will have to avoid getting complacent against an underrated Mexican Standoff team.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Unicorns.\u00a0 Christian keeps his team focused in the trap game.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 6-4
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> What The Puck faced their toughest test to date last game, as they squeaked by LBS, Inc. 3-2.\u00a0 Although the three goals were the fewest they’ve scored all season,\u00a0it is clear that it will take a flawless effort to defeat Mad Dog’s dream team.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> What The Puck.\u00a0 No one puts\u00a0his foot down on Larry.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong>\u00a0What The Puck<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Sky Fighters lead 7-5
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Sky Fighters captain Dan Hopper is thrilled that his hometown Pittsburgh Penguins have reached the Stanley Cup Finals for the second straight year.\u00a0 However, this could cause an interesting conflict of interest as he\u00a0will have to shoot against\u00a0Tuques goalie Minkus, who\u00a0wears a Penguins sticker on his helmet.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka has no conflict of interest and will fire at will.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Sky Fighters.\u00a0 With team heart and soul Chris “Big Sexy” Shumaker’s hometown Red Wings also in the finals, the Sky Fighters may also have to overcome some intra-team turmoil.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Tied 2-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous captain Monica Russo and Denim Demons captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens have been feuding since the two of them co-coached the BTSH Eastern All-Stars to a loss last season, as each blames the other for the defeat.\u00a0 With tensions high, Russo struck the first blow in their\u00a0tiff when Filthy took down the Demons in the quarterfinals of the 2008 playoffs.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Russo is still upset about Rubens’ proposed Jim Dandeneau for “Gentleman” James Pereira trade.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous<\/p>\n
\nEli:<\/strong> 36-9
